Holiday 2011..... where are we all headed for ...?

Bali and the Gili Islands for a couple of weeks at the end of May.

Long weekend riding in France at the end of June.

Redundancy looms at the end of September so it'll either be a month away somewhere if I don't get a job or a week of winter sun before Christmas if I do.

2 weeks in Alvor, Portugal in June, and then a week in Valderrama Spain the middle of Oct. Looking to do a week in Apulia, southern Italy, early September.

10 days in Aiya Napa (yeah, come on with the chav comments) with 6 guys in July for my first ever lads holiday as I've always had a lady nagging me to go somewhere with them previously.
I think I'm going to come back whiter, thinner and a lot iller than when I go out there.

with a few itchy problems as well no doubt

2 and a half weeks in July on the west coast of America. will be going to see the usual touristy stuff like golden gate & alcatraz (I really want to hire a car and go bombing over those hills a'la Bullitt ) and hollywood will be done.

Things i'm most looking forward to are the grand canyon and the viewing platform the rides at Stratosphere in vegas and watching the laguna seca gp before flying home the day after, cant wait!

little hint from keithy... dont go on the skywalk. waste of money, and they dont let you take a camera. trust me the views all around are spectacular enough to not have to go near it.

and did the Strat rides in Vegas last year. fair to say i shat myself

Something like, But I can only move time


I only get two official days off (Christmas day/boxing day) the rest to be taken out of my allocation. so despite many of our sites being shut for easter etc I can work them from home which means I then get to juggle the bank holidays to give me a decent span of holiday instead of the odd day.

iirc it was 30 or 40 dollars, and their souvenier photo of you in blue plastic bags for shoes will look just quaint and set you back about the same!!

the one you'll like the best is the one that tips you off the edge!! mental. if you can afford it do the zip wire. its an 800 foot free fall and you only start to slow down when you reach the lobby. did have the cahunas to try that one! god i love vegas! its not for everybody, but if you can accept the cheese and schmaltz its awesome. oh and go to Freemont Street too!

[STRAMASHER]

Flying over to Lisbon for 5 days for the GP in a few weeks.

Easyjet, apartment in the city centre, cheapest hire car we can get, dirt cheap GP tickets.

All the more money then for copious amounts of Super Bock.

Looks an interesting city.
